15 Fashion Brands That Are Actually Made in America Unlike Ivanka Trump's
The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and what better way to show off your patriotism than by supporting brands that are 100 percent made in the USA? Unlike Ivanka Trump — whose eponymous clothing and accessories line is made overseas in countries like China, Indonesia, and Vietnam — these companies are actually putting “America first” by keeping all of their manufacturing stateside.
From breezy dresses perfect for that backyard BBQ to swimsuits that will keep you looking stylish poolside, these brands have got your summer wardrobe handled. Plus you can take pride in knowing that your money is going to companies that truly practice what they preach when it comes to their hiring practices, production centers, and sustainability initiatives. Now that’s a reason to go shopping!
